messymerge is a more kid-friendly way to gather as the emerge community. song, story, messy activity, and of course food, all combine to create an enriching time for all ages. we'll meet at 4.00pm at the Undercroft, and then walk up to the McGill field. don't forget to bring some food to eat and to share, maybe a blanket to sit on, and be prepared to get messy! we will wrap things up at 6.00pm, so you will have the whole evening free. contact Nick for more details.

The Guerrilla Bible Study

Update: It's happening every Thursday

Hello Emergers,

We are starting a new bible study program, every Thursday evening at the Undercroft. This will be a time for meditating together over the Scriptures, a time of fulfilling silence and a nurturing time of prayer.

We invite you to come along on Thursday nights to this new initiative. As we saw that many of us have hectic lives, we decided to have a Two-Track System. Our program is designed so that some of us can attend every two weeks (2^nd and 4^th Thursday of the month), and others can attend weekly.

MEETING: Every Thursday

sunday july 18th

looks as though sunday should be nice, so we are going to plan to meet at 5.00pm at the Undercroft, then we'll walk up to the McGill field, (behind the construction site), for a picnic, a time to catch up, and time to talk about following Jesus in the workplace. don't forget to bring food & drink for yourself and something to share! also a photo of yourself at the place you work!

seventeen of us, including four I had never met before, plus people from curieux & emerge, gathered in our backyard last sunday, for a post World Cup Final barbeque. some actually watched the game! it was a good time together, especially if you were rooting for Spain!

this sunday july 11th

it's only once every four years!
so we thought that this sunday july 11th, we'd have a curieux & emerge World Cup Final watching party and post-game barbeque to round off the four week festival of soccer that is the World Cup. it'll be a chance to catch up with one another, and if you can't stand soccer (we'll pray for you) you can always chill in our backyard. children are more than welcome. we'll provide burgers (meat & veggie),you bring a salad, or something to drink or munch. things'll get started at 2.00pm, 3498 Harvard in NDG is the place.

no gathering at the Undercroft this week.
